Wake Me When I'm Dead
Ohh, yeah (yeah), no no no no
Ohh, ohhh (ohhh)
I know the story and I've read the book
I knew the game with just one look
What you're all about (what you're all about)
There could be no doubt
You know I got someone it's plain to see
but even still ya try to talk to me
Like ya didn't know (like ya didn't know)
Boy it's time to go
I told you the scenario
I made it crystal clear
I spelled it out from A to Z
But which part of no don't you hear?
I told you I'm already taken
And that's a move I won't be makin'
I made a vow I'm never breakin

Come by the Hills

I wish I was in Carrighfergus,
Only for nights in Ballygrant.
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
Only for nights in Ballygrant.
But the sea is wide, and I can't swim over.
Neither have I wings to fly.
If I could find me a handsome boatsman
To ferry me over to my love and die.
Now in Kilkenny, it is reported,
They've marble stones there as black as ink.
With gold and silver I would transport her
But I'll sing no more now, till I get a drink.
I'm drunk today, but I'm seldom sober.
A handsome rover from town to town.
Ah, but I am sick now, my days are over,
Come all you young lads and lay me down.
I wish I was in Carrighfergus,
Only for nights in Ballygrant.
